Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend, all of Brian’s family came down to Orem and we had so many fun things planned. And then of course, it was SO rainy! Brian’s sister recently got married and it was so nice to get to know her new husband and his two sons. Brian’s brother also brought his girlfriend and her three kids and it was nice to meet them as well. Braxton and Briella went from having no cousins on this side of the family to 1 cousin on the way and 5 step-cousins within the last 6 months.  It was so fun for Braxton to have some buddies!

Saturday we headed up to Hogle Zoo. We were there for only an hour or so before it started pouring rain. Briella and I took refuge in the car while the rest of the group ran from exhibit to exhibit. Braxton was glued to the glass at every turn. We definitely need to go back when it is better weather!

Later that day we headed over to one of the hotels to do a little swimming since it was so cold outside.

Then that night, Grandma and Chris watched all the kids so the ‘adult kids’ could go out to dinner.

On Sunday afternoon, we played board games and went to the park to feed the ducks and play on the toys to get the kids out of the house.

Finally, on Monday the weather was warm enough to go to Seven Peaks.  It was so fun to feel the sun and go down some slides.  After we were done swimming, everybody headed home.  It was a great weekend of good food and fun family bonding time!
